Exploring Possibility Connecting Creativity

Creative Fuse North East – unlocking the true potential of the creative, digital and tech sectors to drive innovation & growth of the region’s economy.

Delivered through a truly unique partnership between the North East’s five universities – Newcastle, Durham, Northumbria, Sunderland and Teesside. Academics will work alongside industry, cultural organisations, charities and the public sector, to explore how creative, digital and IT firms can have a sustainable future in the region adding value to the region’s broader employment base.

Our Collaboration and Knowledge Exchange (CAKE) events returned after a short summer break. The 25th CAKE was held in partnership with Assist– a professional women’s network based in Tees Valley. Covering the theme “Exploring Diversity Connecting Creativity” a diverse range of speakers shared ideas on how to achieve diversity and inclusion on the workplace in everyday practice.
